“Time Machine series, is essentially an archive in the form of a scrapbook of the life Buck has led, bringing together cuttings, clippings and comments (both fiction and non-) to tell the history of the counter-currents and counter-cultures that he has lived through. Among the figures included are Kathy Acker, Maurice Blanchot, Marc Almond, Genesis P-Orridge, Raul Ruiz, Jean-Patrick Manchette and Susan Hiller.” via RAM.
The book consists of excerpts from the vast amount of newspaper clippings from 1960's to today, alongside with the author's commentary. The design is loyal to the sequentiality of the text, while the clippings (images) are laid vertically suggesting an alternative reading of the scrapbooks. Together they form two narratives through design. The design work included selection and composition of all image pages, hence an editorial collaboration was at stake.
